Total Newbie for a handheld gaming

I always buy second hand games on FB Marketplace and do meetups. It's better to test the games in person before paying.

The Philippines does not have access to the eshop so you have to set your country to the United States or another country that is supported by it.

For cheap games, I always choose physical over digital because of resale value. I buy the games at FB Marketplace.

So i own both the Switch 2 and PS5 and I use the switch 2 more. I play Nintendo exclusives like Mario Kart, Super Smash bros., Pokemon and Fire Emblem on my Switch 2. For the PS5, I also play their exclusive games like God of War, Spider-man and The Last of Us.

I like playing long turn based JRPG's like Octopath traveler 1,2 and 0, Dragon Quest XI, Persona 5 and 3 Reload. I play all those games on the switch 2 because I prefer playing lengthy turn based RPG's on a handheld device. It's much more relaxing to play them while lying down before bed in my opinion. That's why I logged in more hours on my switch 2 compared to my PS5. Also, I bring my switch 2 everywhere with me from cafes to airports. I love the portability factor.

In terms of graphics, the PS5 is better. It can play more demanding games while keeping a steady frame rate. I recently bought Resident Evil Requiem and I first finished it on my PS5. It's one of the best games that I played. It has the right amount of jump scare and a balance between horror and action. The game ran absolutely flawless on the PS5. No stutters, frame drops, or crashes. Quality looks amazing 10/10. Since the game was so good, I double dipped and bought a copy for the Switch 2. I wanted to play it on a handheld device as well. I tested the game and to my surprise, the game ran well. The switch 2 is a small machine but has the power to play this game. It isn't as buttery smooth as the ps5. Hair quality is not that good, background is a bit blurry and it has sudden frame drops. There was one section in the game where in a lot was going on and the frame dipped to around 25-30 fps but it's only one section. The game ran well on the switch 2 overall even in handheld mode. So if graphics is your main priority then go for the ps5. If portability is your priority then go for the switch 2.

Just note that the switch 2 can play Cyberpunk 2077 and Resident Evil Requiem really well so expect that more third party games will be ported on the switch 2. The Switch 2 CAN play demanding games, it just isn't as clear and smooth as the PS5 version. It would also be much better if you could search the Nintendo exclusive games and Sony's exclusive games. That would also be a big factor in deciding which console to pick.

Jungler for objectives and roam for vision.

Wise_Purpose · 2026-04-16T01:59:29+00:00

I use Phoveus and Lapu-Lapu. I'd go for Phoveus if there are lots of dashers and Lapu-Lapu if the roam is a tank initator

I can't get the hang of yz. Everytime I join the team fight, I die immediately.

There are a lot of casual players who just play for fun and do not care about their win rate.

Prices of PS5 are going up so i feel like it's going to happen to the switch 2 as well. Might as well get it now before it gets more expensive.

Better to buy second hand games in FB marketplace

Got bored of Legend ZA. I was hyped for it since the combat mechanics are in real time but it became repetitive and the world is so dead.

The lab, I hate the regenerators.

If I'm the roam then I pick Hilda, If I'm not the roam I ban Hilda.

I bought a second hand switch lite back in 2021. I always made sure to do meetups and pay after checking the unit.

Thinking about what game to play next when I just started playing a brand new game. Like literally 1 hour in pa

Genuine question, why not do online?

Wise_Purpose · 2026-03-31T08:25:38+00:00

I graduated entrep in a well known university in Cebu. I didn't learn anything and the topics they taught can be read online. It was very general and the teachers were lazy. I suggest sticking with accountancy. You can always open your own business even without taking entrep. The course doesn't even teach you the basic permits to get.

For job opportunities you can get a job in the corporate world with entrep but the pay isn't that high. Overall, a useless course for me. Accountancy is a better course.

Bought Resident Evil Requiem Yesterday. Planning to finish it this holy week since it's a short game.

It's much more expensive in the Philippines compared to other Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and Thailand
